Recording equipment is as old as music industry itself.

But still people didnt use to record the songs from one tape on other tapes. Not on a large scale atleast.

Then came the net which bought along p2p networks. MIRC. Copying songs became easy.

But still it wasnt done on a large scale.

Then came high speed broadband internet. That made downloading songs a matter of seconds. And Napster provided with a good and easy interface.

So all of a sudden there were a million people sharing songs online.

Napster got closed and kazaa and gnutella and numerous other softwares came up. They all did just one thing: made it easier to download songs.

People stopped buying cds not because they were expensive. They were expensive before too - when mirc allowed free downloads. But its harder to go to a store and buy cds then to go online and download songs.

And it helps that its free.

You get the same piece of software - one for 20$ - another for free. Which one is easier to get?

The free one. You dont have to fill in your credit card numbers - pay your credit card bills and stuff.

Remember gator - it made filling forms easy. People downloaded it even though it was a spyware. Then came roboform. No spyware. And free. People shifted their loyalties.

Its all about EASY not Money.
